Re: Equivalence Principal
If the attractive force of gravity is proportional to the mass of two bodies, why does an object of greater mass not fall quicker?
Because it takes proportionally more force to accelerate a more massive object.

I hope your considering Scott Oswer's backgournd and the site he reprsents that states it "promotes a naturalistic worldview." You should be alert for some bias in his review.
Bias can only take a man so far. It can make Oswer want to find errors in Schroeder's work, but it can't actually create errors in Schroeder's work. Schroeder himself has to do that.

You keep using this word "metaphysical". What would it even mean for gravity to be "metaphysical"?
